Marjorie Webster leaves some of her musical ability to the Junior String Orchestra. Louise Webster leaves her ability to hold a man to Doris Homer.

Senior Prophecy By Paul Smith. Gouverneur, New York, June 30, 1933. Dear Clarence, Well, here I am back in Gouverneur after six years of schooling and exper- ience. Many of the old classmates of ’27 are in town to spend their vacations. I have heard directly from many and indirectly from the rest. What a change has come about in the old crowd! I returned last Sunday. The first person I saw was Robert Dygert. He is now night policeman. Don’t you think he would make a good one ? He told me that Glenn Miller and Kenneth Smith, his brothers in athletics, are now in Wa- tertown managing Devendorf’s garage. Ruby June and Doris Bowhall are both married to Clinton County farmers. Lawrence Babcock is now general manager of all athletics in Hobart College. Lewis Love took an Independence Corre- spondence Course and is now Joke Editor of College Humor. Lewis has made great success in the commercial world. Dorothy Harvey is married and is liv- ing in Gouverneur. She has joined the staff of the Northern Tribune by writ- ing advice to love-sick children. Robert Carpenter is an advertising agent rep- resenting “The candy mint with the hole”. Marcus Graves is following in his fathers’ footsteps with the slogan When better cars are built”. Marjorie Street- er completed her course in Boston and is now director of music in the Parish- ville High School. Louise Webster has gone to the farm as Mrs. Johnson. Margaret McGuire and Marian Chisholm, who are prominent social service workers in New York, are traveling in Europe and the surrounding islands show- ing the need of bigger and better clubs. Harriet Brown and Bertha Eckmann are conducting a nationally known girls’ school on Black Lake. Bob told me of his trip to New York, where he saw Marguerite Geisendoerfer and Marion Corbin, who are dancing in the Follies. Last year they made a tour of this country and the South Sea Islands. Minnetta Love and Blanche Tait

Glory follozus virtue as if it were its shadow.—Cicero. Senior Will (CONTINUED) Evelyn Holt leaves for the West.” Good luck, Evelyn in your future life. The best of our wishes are with you. Lloyd Homer leaves his drag with Mr. Riley to George Bush. Consider yourself lucky, George. Frieda Keiser leaves her voice and golden curls to Anna Brown. Margaret Jackson leaves the use of the Ritchie car to Dorothy Ritchie. Ruby June leaves her out of town men to Velma Warner. Ruby has no more use for them. Dean Kaley presents the full rights to be a side-show manager to Douglas Bulger because Douglas has qualified for this. Morris Lee leaves his chemistry apron to anyone that can wear it. If no one can, he gives it to the school at large guaranteeing that it will be placed in the trophy case. Beatrice Leeson leaves her spinstership to the underclassmen. Bertha Littlebrandt leaves her determination to graduate to Lewis Love. Minnetta Love leaves her oratorical ability to Frances Collins. Margaret McGuire leaves all the hard work that she has done in school and never been thanked for to any one who appreciates what she has done and who is crazy enough to continue it. Dorothy McLean leaves her secret of success and her winning ways to the whole school at large. We are sure that there is no one who does not need a drag. Eleanor Manning leaves her mathematical ability to Archie Murray. Glenn Miller leaves his ability to say things and get away with it to Freddy Grinnell. It is a great opportunity. Beulah Mullen leaves her leadership of the Deltas to the girl who is fine enough to accomplish as much as Beulah has. Marline Murphy leaves her dates with Dodo Homer’s men to Marion Free- man. Marion Overacker leaves the trials of leading the basketball team to anyone that accepts the task. Marion Randall leaves her good influence on the school. Frances Scurrah leaves her wonderful marks to Louis Saidel. Kenneth Smith leaves his popularity to Nelson Winters. Ken has reigned as our class athlete, and we are proud of his reputation. Paul Smith leaves his so-called drag with the girls to Lester Collins, hoping that he will find out that they really don’t bite. Marjorie Streeter leaves her position as school pianist to Dorothy Cox. Blanche Tait leaves her dignity to Eva Wright. Marion Taylor leaves her ability and talent to the students of Miss Costello’s English Class—they need it. 1927 Page Seventeen
